Raspberry Thumbprint Wholewheat Scones with Macadamia Nuts

4.28.10

Since I know how to bake, I rarely buy baked goods to keep handy at home. Wait! Don't get me wrong. I will buy baked goods at a good bakery shop. I'm talking like when you need cookies, cupcakes, or stuff like that at home just to satisfy your appetite. I would rather bake it myself than spend $$ on it.

Am I crazy? I hope not...

I have tried to bake after work a few times. Man, it was tiring...especially when I had to make dinner earlier. So, one of my weekend days is now saved for complicated and time consuming recipes. Nowadays, I feel like my body and mind are programed for cooking. As soon as I get home, my body goes straight to the kitchen and starts rummaging in there. It's like when you get up, you have to brush your teeth and shower..yeah..it's like that. The kitchen is my territory. My husband, Keith, isn't allowed in there. He comes to help sometimes, but I would rather have him sit and watch.."get out of my way"...

One Saturday came and I was free! Time to get these scones in the jar. We've been trying to eat healthy with all whole wheat, organic grain, and less fat milk. This recipe is a good combination of those things and it comes together in less than 45 minutes

Add 1 tsp vanilla and sour cream; pulse 3 times or just until combined ( DO NOT over-mix). If you're afraid you might over-mix, you can transfer the mixture into a big bowl and add sour cream and vanilla. Use spatula to mix. If you over-mix, the mixture will be too runny.

Those are so cute! I love how you packaged them up. I'm the same way - the second I get home from work I start rummaging around the kitchen getting dinner ready. I like it though, it's nice to hang out there after work.

I also love your blog and this recipe, will save it to make another day as I am still enjoying Monet's banana bread and don't want to overload on baked goods! But, there will come a weekend morning when these scones will be on the menu, thanks for the recipe:)

Loved this recipe, and will add it to my "Best macadamia Nut Recipes" blog over at Squidoo! I Used Hawaii macadamia nuts for this recipe. I get mine from www.maunakeagold.com. In my opinion, Hawaii produces the best Mac Nuts!

Very great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wished to mention that I've really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I'll be subscribing in your feed and I hope you write once more soon!

I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your site. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Exceptional work!

I am not sure where you're getting your information, but great topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more. Thanks for wonderful information I was looking for this info for my mission.

I am no longer certain where you're getting your information, however great topic. I needs to spend a while learning much more or working out more. Thanks for great information I used to be on the lookout for this info for my mission.
